If you are following the news right now you’ll know that DACA is on almost every headline. I had no idea what DACA was and I’m sure a lot of you didn’t know or still don’t know. Here are just a few facts about DACA, why it is important and how you can help.

DACA stand for “Deferred Action for Child Arrivals”. This program was created by Barack Obama in 2012 and has allowed THOUSANDS of young children who were brought to the Untied States illegally to remain in the country.

Applicants have to have arrived in the United States before 2007 and can live and work in the US for a period of two years before being renewed.

Almost 1 million people have applied to join since the start of the program and more than 150,000 people have applied since Trump became president to be protected.

Trumps administration, announced it will end DACA. They called this program “unconstitutional and criticizing it as unilateral executive amnesty.”

New applications for the program will not be accepted.
This is where we come in. As young people with voices that are meant to be heard we can help! Here are a few ways we all can help.

Get Educated!: learn why this program is so important and why we need to fight to protect its existence.

Get involved: If you live anywhere were protests are happening because of DACA or volunteer to help or even donating.

Utilize Social Media: follow activist on twitter or Facebook so you know what organizations will provide the latest information.

Below are the links I used to inform myself and links that have information about what you can do to help!

I’m back with one of my absolute FAVORITE posts to write… a wishlist! These wishlist are full of many different fashion items I wish I had and hopefully one day soon will get! I’m currently revamping my style and buying clothing items that are a little more mature and put me out of my comfort zone (in a good way!).

Fashion is an important part of my life. I love admiring over great looks I’ve seen on my favorite bloggers,celebrities and just in general! It’s fun to see new trends come out of no where and seeing everyone pull off the look! Let me know what your favorite fashion trends are and if you like any of the ones I’ve listed 🙂 ﻿Plain White Tee and Denim- I love the simplicity of a white tee and denim! It’s fun to mix up the looks so that it can look more casual or a little more dressy! Here are some examples of the styles I love.

Mom Jeans- I LOVE mom Jeans. They are so simple but can really transform an outfit! I love when I see them paired with sneakers and even heels! Mom Jeans are an essential item in a wardrobe in my opinion if they are your style 🙂

Oversized Sweatshirts– This is one trend that I fall victim of. I love wearing an oversized sweatshirt when I don’t feel like getting dressed up or if I’m not feeling to great (that time of the month). Oversized sweatshirts have been very popular lately especially with the way people have styled them. I personally like when I wear it as a more simple look but I’ve seen times where people have dressed them up and look great!

Layering- I wish I could pull off the overly excessive layered look that a lot of my favorite bloggers and celebrities easily pull off. I love this look because even though most of the time a lot of thought is put into it, it looks effortless and I love it.

Denim Jackets– I love denim jackets and always have! They are a versatile piece that everyone needs in their wardrobe! It gives a bit of an edge to an outfit and completes any outfit:)

Athletic Wear- The trend of wearing athletic wear as everyday wear is mt favorite because it gives me the excuse to wear this trend…. every day… (I’m a college student what can I say?). It’s easy and fashionable and you can make this trend your own. You’ll look like you are on your way to a workout but you really are going out for pizza.

So now you guys have a sense of styles and trends I like and look at for inspiration for my own style! Let me know what your favorite trends are!

To me Coachella is a magical place that I’ve always dreamed of going to! Unfortunately it’s happens across the country from me! I honestly can’t see myself justifying going unless someone sent me for free!

Coachella looks really set the tone for styles that will be popular in the summer. We are introduced to newer styles that we love and we also see some outrageous looks like we hate to admit that we wish we could pull off. Personally it’s a lot of fun to see what my favorite celebrities wear and see how I can incorporate it to my own style!

I put together a few looks that I think would be fun to wear to Coachella (or any festivals or concerts!). These are outfits that I would wear or wish I could pull off! I tried to put together outfits that are different than the normal festival outfits. Let me know if you would wear any of these outfits!! Enjoy 🙂

Hey friends! I’ve been so busy lately with school that I feel like my blog has been suffering because of it 😦 I haven’t been super active on social media and haven’t had much inspiration or motivation for blog posts.

Luckily my school semester will be over on the 28th and I’ll have the whole month of May and a bit of June to focus on my blog! I’m planning a lot of new posts from more beauty reviews, advice posts and fashion posts. My goal is to actually have photos of myself in more of my blog posts! I feel like unless you follow me on snapchat you guys really don’t know what I look like or who I really am!

Towards the end of June I will start work everyday, I work Monday through Friday until the end of august. That part stresses me out a bit because I don’t know how up to blogging I will be! Hopefully in the month of May and most of June I’ll be able to plan out plenty of posts that’ll hopefully last me awhile. Fingers crossed!

In the next few weeks I’ll be attending a wedding and I plan on having a few pictures taken of me (by my lovely sister) to hopefully include in a post. I got my dress yesterday and I really love it! It’s different for me because it has a pattern on it and I normally go for a plain black dress for events like these! I posted a picture of it on my twitter if you want to check it out 🙂

My goal is to try to find some inspiration and really focus on my blog! I want it to be a successful as possible and all though the numbers and such are doing well, I feel like my blog could be a million times better. I try not to compare my blog to others but it’s so hard sometimes! I’m finally happy with my layout but I really need to work on my content.

Let me know what kind of blog post you guys like because it’s hard for me to tell sometimes! I think the ones that do best are wishlists and product reviews or posts like my favorite, Fashion Trends That Shouldn’t Be Trends.

I’ve never been a super creative person! Finding inspiration for blog posts is soooo hard for me! I tend to make it up as I go but I feel like that’s not very professional. I have random bursts of ideas that I save in my drafts but never complete the posts!

I’m working on time management and what not. It’s something that I feel like everyone is trying to figure out so I don’t feel that bad about being a disorganized mess!
Anyways that’s just a little tiny update in my life! How have you guys been? Let me know I would love to hear about your amazing lives 🙂

The month of march is almost over and one thing I’ve been extra obsessed with this month has been music! There has been a bunch of new songs released that I love as well as older songs I’ve reconnected with!

Music is so important to me. I can connect with music in every situation I’m ever in and to me, that’s incredible! I personally think I have an okay music taste because I don’t like just one genre. I think it’s safe to say I like music from pretty much every genre! Let me know what your favorite genre of music is 🙂 ﻿Zayn- Still Got Time

This song literally just came out a few days ago but I absolutely love it! Zayn has an amazing voice and he makes equally amazing song. I’m happy that this song featured PARTYNEXTDOOR because it adds something a little special to it. Have you guys heard this song? What do you think of it! I think it’s a great song for the spring/summer time.

Bruno Mars- That’s What I Like

Every time this song comes on I have to dance and sing along. It’s such a catchy tune and Bruno Mars always creates songs like this. I’m not sure if it’s possible to ever get tired of this song! I really like when it performs it live on award shows because him and his backup singers/dancers literally put on the best performance!

DJ Khaled feat. Beyoncé & Jay Z- Shining

I have to admit, I’m not a fan of DJ Khaled. I saw when he opened up for Beyoncé and honestly I was not impressed, he played a few songs and got off the stage. I was happy when I heard this song because it’s so catchy and fun! Beyoncé sounds amazing but my favorite part might be Jay Z’s! Please listen to this if you haven’t yet.

Danity Kane- Ecstacy

Who else was a fan of Danity Kane? I’m not sure how popular they were outside of the United States but I definitely was a fan back in the day. This song was my favorite and I’ve fallen back in love with it ever since it played on shuffle on my phone for the first time in forever! They weren’t the best girl group in the world but they definitely made some good songs that I still love today!

Maren Morris- Once

I heard her sing this when she performed at the Grammys and let me tell you, she can sing! I really like this song because you can hear so much emotion in her voice. I think a lot of people can relate to the lyrics and that’s what makes it so great. Please listen to this song too! I think a lot of you will really love it.

Christina Aguilera- Whoohoo

This. Song. Is. So. Fun. I’ve loved this song for a few years now and it always makes me want to dance! I listen to this while I walk to class and I have to fight the urge to dance. Christina Aguilera always has fun songs and this is definitely one of them. Check this song out!

Khalid- Therapy

Khalid’s voice is magical and beautiful. His lyrics are deep and meaningful and I love him! I just recently discovered him and I fell in love. His music is great for just chilling out and I think that a lot more people should listen to him!

So that’s it for my favorite songs this month! I might try to do this sort of post monthly to tell you guys what kind of music I’m into! Let me know if you like that idea 🙂
What’s one of your favorite songs this month?

It’s finally spring!! This is one of my favorite seasons not just because of the change in weather but for the new clothes! I love shopping for the spring time because of all the pretty colors and floral patterns! I’ve made a wishlist of a ton of things I want from my favorite stores! I hope you enjoy and let me know what’s on your spring wishlist.

Dresses:

I have to admit, I’m not a dress kind of gal but I want to be! I think I’ve always been insecure about my arms but now that I’m older, I’m more comfortable with my body so I’ll show off my arms without thinking twice! I love these dresses because I don’t have many dresses and any of these would be dresses I could wear to multiple occasions!

Who doesn’t love a great top for the spring time? This is the time of year I try to find tops I don’t already have or try out different styles to get out of my comfort zone. I love getting new t-shirts that I can layer with and also wear again in the summer time as well as when it gets colder again.
